Since there really is nothing that can be done to medically prevent or cure cold sores, it is left up to the person suffering from these to at least try and control the outbreaks. Once a person starts to feel that tingle sensation that often comes along right before the breakout happens, treatment needs to be given. While treatment for the sores will not completely stop the outbreak from happening, it can greatly reduce the size of the outbreak and the time it will hang around for by about half.

There are many home remedies for cold sores that can be read about in a lot of home remedy books or on a lot of different web sites. Most of the home remedies involve things that you may already have in your kitchen or bathroom, which means you will not have to spend too much money. And then there is always the medical treatment for cold sores, which involves medication. Currently there are two FDA approved medications on the market for cold sores so if interested, be sure to speak with you family doctor about them so that you can be ready.
